Writing about the iron industry of the Northwest, a correspondent msks some interesting statements concerning tbe salaries paid by the great mining companies. lie tells of an old man who begun life as an officeboy of the corporation that now pays him twenty thous and dollars a year; of another who receives thirty-five thousand dol lars, and many whose ealsries range from five to fiifteen th'ouiand dol lars. Tbe company that employs the man who earns tbirty-five thousand dollars produces annually six mil lion tons of ore. Ao improvement that saves even s cent a ton makes a vast difference in its profits. The high-salaried man has suggested never 'i such improvements. All these richly rewarded managers and agents are able to initiate as well as direct and execute. The present organization of in durtry tends towarl specialization. An old-time shoemaker would be lost in one of our modern factories where a shoe passes through forty four different hands. Perhaps few of the employes could make a sboe unaided, as he could; but his own line of work a laster, a stitcher, or any one of the forty-four could beat the old shoemaker "to a stand still." -IS Yet a ''specialist" in an industry is liable to grow narrow and ran into a rut. It is important to note that a high-salaried ironmaster o f whom we have spoken are men who stopped short of this aanger point and brosdened out. The fact that a certain thing bad always been uuim iu a toiuiu way uiu uuv fjruve to them that, that was tbe best way and they earned their salaries by finding a better. When the young men at the mach ne grows dissatisfied with his wages, the thing for him to do is not to strike, but to study. If he has the capac ity to understand and improve upon the progress that go to the completion of any manufactured uruuuev. it, IB in uib unit uower ii rise to a plane where he can call the rich manager brother,' REPORT OF THE OF THE CONDITION INDEPENDENCE , NATIONAL BANK.
